HEEPS Food and Drink - The Reveal

6. Name a popular soft drink (or 'mineral' if you're a culchie!)

Feeling parched after all this heavy Heepsing? Time to quench your thirst. Which tasty beverage will you wash it down with?

Bit of a contentious one here, perhaps; 11 players say Fanta while 2 specifically say Fanta Orange. While there are other flavours of Fanta I think it’s fair to say that orange is generally regarded as the default (if I say “Fanta”, you’re unlikely to think lemon or exotic, for example, before orange). So I have grouped them together (Fanta would have Sheeped anyway even without the two Fanta Orange answers).


Coke 7-Up is our Heeps with Coke coming in third; ASLB and yozico go for healthier variations of the latter but alas it doesn’t do them much good here.

Toto holds onto her lead but it's now cut to just two points, with a trio of players now hot on her tail.
No change at the other end of the table; I'm sorry rainbowtrout.

Mars is the Sheep, Twix is the Heeps….was somewhat surprised at this one tbh, Twixes are just so…..meh. Like a chocolate bar for people who don’t actually like chocolate bars.

the_syco opts for a very American flavour but it doesn’t prove too popular.

And good news for rainbowtrout, who finally gets points on the board.

8. Name a type of cheese

Time for some cheese now! Plenty of options here, but which proved to the grand fromage du forum games?

We have a Joint Sheep this time, as cheddar and brie both share the (dubious) honours. ShaneU and spook_ie cleverly avoid the cheddary Sheep by being very specific about the type of cheddar they want; the_syco takes it to yet another level of specificity.

Mozzarella is the Heeps with Edam not far behind. Ferris_Bueller's gives a good Irish answer but the patriotism doesn't quite pay off sadly. Green&Red and phatkev both go for the general rather than the specific; again, doesn't quite pay off.

A well-timed Heeps (well, they're all well-timed I guess!) sees Toto extend her lead at the top. Siobh73 overcomes the "conspiracy" that held her back in the past few rounds to join aaronjennings in the silver medal position.
